The star has joined the cast of Amazon's acclaimed series - which follows transgender Maura Pfefferman, played by Jeffrey Tambor, as she comes out as a woman to friends and family - much to the delight of the comedy's creator Jill Soloway, who described her addition as a "dream come true".

Jill added: "We are all part of the same community. A lot of the transwomen who work on our show are also in her show, I Am Cait. Lots of crossover. Lots of friends."
